Giorgia Meloni will testify at a court in the Sardinian city of Sassari in a bid to send a message about the problem

Italy’s prime minister is seeking €100,000 (£85,374) in damages after deepfake pornographic videos of her were shared on the internet.

‘Deepfakes’ are images or videos where the face of one person, in this case Giorgia Meloni, is digitally put onto the body of another.

Two men accused of making the videos, a father and son aged 74 and 40, are being investigated.

    When I said “fuck that racist piece of shit”, it’s not what I had in mind.

    Meloni is a trash politician who pushes Italy towards fascism, but I find it appalling that she’s being degraded specifically as a women this way.
    There are enough valid criticisms and enough ways to satire her shitty views without sexualizing without her approval.

    I hope she loses in all the other domains but I hope she (and all the other people who have to go through this kindof stuff) wins this thing.
